Here's a very brief cover of one of my absolute favorite songs of all time, Smile by Charlie Chaplin.
I first discovered this song while listening to Michael Jackson's 1995 album HIStory, Michael's interpretation of the classic track being the last song on the album. Needless to say, the melody and harmonies grasped tightly to my heart, and the chorus finds its way into my thoughts on a daily basis ever since. Sometimes I'll even catch myself humming the melody to myself without even really being conscious about it! After looking into this beautiful piece, I learned that it was written by famous actor Charlie Chaplin, which led me to be insanely impressed to say the least. Not only that, but I immediately found Nat King Cole's version of the song, which brought me immeasurable joy, Nat King Cole being one of my all time favorite singers. This hauntingly beautiful melody has inspired so many of my songs, improvisations, and has made me grow as musician more than most songs ever has. Despite loving this song for so long, I had never really considered giving my own spin on it until just now. So I quickly begun binge listening to the song (not that that's a bad thing) and hopped on the keys to see what would come out. So with all that being said, I present to you all a very brief window into my heart's version of Smile! I hope it brings you even just a fragment of the joy this song has brought to me.
